Soo, I was sitting here saving patterns, favorite'ing links and browsing through countless others when it dawned on me to share my favorites with you. I have been just sharing what I have actually done but totally forgot that yall might like some of the things I want to do but probably wont get around to doing for quite some time, if ever.

First I must give credit to my crocheting friends who post links on facebook or in crochet groups, they are a constant source of inspiration. I don't really go around browsing myself very often cause..well let's face it...the well is overflowing with a gillion patterns! Who has the time? LOL!

So here are a few FREE patterns that made it into my list this evening. The list of...maybe someday, definitely want to, when I have the time.

So what have I been up to lately? Well since I have been sick all week, I have had plenty of opportunity to get lots of crocheting done.

I finished up the bag for my friend, who I advised not to come get cause I was super sick and pretty sure contagious (hubby got it).

I started this sweater for someone special (secret) but ran out of that color yarn and the store didn't have any either. Currently waiting for that shipment to come in. I am truly bummed about this, I soo wanted to get that finished and to the person, can't wait to see how it looks on her!

I picked up my ripple blanket that I started awhile back but being sick, I was too hot to have a big blanket on me. So once again it got set aside. I'm beginning to wonder if I will get to finish it this year or not. I find the ripple to be very slow going for me, not sure why.

I decided something small and quick would be the best way to go. So I made this purse. The pattern is actually a purchased pattern but I modified it to have this type of handle instead of straps.

The two balls of lovely expensive yarn that I got at the fiber fest sat on my counter taunting me, teasing me... I stared at it, felt it and stared at it some more. Just waiting for it to scream at me what it wanted to be. The final decision was a scarf that was wide and long enough to double as a wrap. The yarn is so soft and supple but also has the feel of being thick but not the appearance. If I could afford it, I would definitely get more of it. All I can tell ya is it is labeled as James C. Brett Marble Chunky machine washable 200g 100% acrylic. I have no idea where to get more other than a small shop in Seguin, Tx called "Your so Crafty". It reminds me alot of homespun but way softer.
